Instructions for Living

[Peace Pilgrim’s] instructions to others were, in keeping with the nature of truth, ever so simple: “I don’t eat junk food, and I don’t think junk thoughts.” Translation: Honor the body, honor the mind, honor the spirit. ~ Myss, Caroline. Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing (p. 255). Potter/TenSpeed/Harmony. Kindle Edition.

I love the simplicity of this —
“I don’t eat junk food,
and I don’t think junk thoughts.”
Translation: Honor the body,
honor the mind,
honor the spirit.
Her simple wisdom also proclaimed,
“One little person,
giving all of her time to peace,
makes news.
Many people,
giving some of their time,
can make history.”
Let us honor her truth in these ways:
Honor the body,
honor the mind,
honor the spirit.
